The Northern Safari Circuit
The Tanzania Northern Safari Circuit has everything you could dream of: high mountains, endless savannahs, rain forests, beautiful rivers and waterfalls, rare African wild animals, and the original inhabitants of Africa with their eclectic mix of cultures and lifestyles. And when the adventures on the mainland leave you longing for more, Zanzibar awaits with its pristine beaches, rich history, and vibrant culture.
The Northern Safari Circuit of Tanzania is home to the legendary Serengeti National Park, known for the Great Migration, an awe-inspiring display of nature’s grandeur. Sitting chin to cheek next to it is the Ngorongoro Crater – a geological marvel that hosts the African Big Five within its unbroken caldera. Tarangire National Park, with its giant baobab trees and large elephant herds, offers a unique contrast to the lush, forested shores of Lake Manyara National Park. And the often overlooked Arusha National Park is a hidden gem that combines the serenity of mountain forests with the thrill of rare wildlife encounters.
Beyond these classic national parks, the Northern Circuit is crowned by some of Africa’s most iconic peaks: Mount Kilimanjaro, the world’s highest free-standing mountain, and Mount Meru, with its stunning views and challenging climbs, offer a quieter, yet equally rewarding experience. The volcanic majesty of Mount Ol Doinyo Lengai, revered by the Maasai as the “Mountain of God,” adds a spiritual dimension to the landscape, while the lesser-known Mount Hanang invites exploration off the beaten path.
